FareFinder: Christma$ in NYC grande dame

We thought FareFinder was such a good idea that we're scrapping the Tuesday/Thursday thang to give you FareFinder everyday (yeah, I know, you're welcome).

So, in honor of the first snowfall here at the PTG v.2 HQ, FareFinder decided to drop a little Christmas cheer in all your laps. And what says Christmas more than NYC and those fabulously-leggy Rockettes?

The Plaza, that venerable Big Apple landmark that provided the backdrop for such wonderful moments in Brewster's Millions, Home Alone 2 and The Sopranos, among others, is offering a "Christmas Spectacular" package that can only be described a major-league lux.

The hotel’s "Christmas Spectacular" package promises guests a quintessential holiday experience in the Big Apple and includes Premier seating for two at the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, luxurious accommodations in a Plaza guest room or suite and a special "Christmas Spectacular"-themed holiday dessert to be devoured in The Palm Court.

Swank, yes. Cheap, no. Value, hells yeah. Rates might start at an eye-popping $875 a night, but considering you normally can't step through The Plaza doors for less than a grand, this is certainly worthy of a FareFinder luxury deal.

The Ellis Hotel in Atlanta Is Getting All 'Rowr' This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time of celebration. A time for caring and giving. A joyous occasion to celebrate various religious beliefs with your family. And they are also the time of Santa Clause. He brings presents to people, based on various levels of "naughty" and "nice".

But this year, thanks to a pretty foxy little Christmas package from the Ellis Hotel in Atlanta, you can totally circumvent your North Pole pal and pick your own classification.

The Naughty or Nice package covers accommodations in a king room and late checkout at 2 p.m.

In addition, if booking the Naughty plan (must request Naughty), the rate covers a bottle of champagne upon arrival, gingerbread massage oil and a $25 gift card to Victoria's Secret.

The Nice plan (must request Nice) covers hot cocoa and cookies upon arrival, a holiday music CD and a Hallmark holiday ornament.

Yes. It is in fact best called "aggressive". After all, nothing says overtly romantic quite like a bottle of "gingerbread massage oil" now does it? Personally, I'd say that the "Nice" package seems kind of, well, lame. Unless you're bringing like a platonic friend, which is waaaaay beyond awkward anyway.
